Tales of the Riverbank

Many years ago I used to watch a program on TV called Tales of the Riverbank, the stars of the show being Hammy the hamster, Roderick Rat and GP the Guinea Pig and each episode told some story of the "adventures" of these three animal friends, narrated by Johnny Morris an icon of 1960's and '70's children's TV.

For some reason bull rushes as in the pictures above always make me think of that program and they also make nice subjects for a photo.

Windy Marshland

Today sees the last of the shots from Burton Mere for a while and the focus today is on the reed beds and the motion of the wind.  Certainly in the first three pictures you can see the wind tugging at the fluffy coating on the bull rushes or bending the reeds.

As well as the way these pictures capture movement I also like the warmth of the colours.
